She plays a kind of quirky vocal-centric rock akin to REBECCA, Nokko or 椎名林檎. Yaida, who refers to her music as "Heart Rock", is also able to play most of the instruments she composes for, and after a stint on the indie scene where she had a hit titled Howling off a demo tape in 1999, she made her major debut in 2000, on the Aozora Records label, with a re-release of Howling, followed by B'coz I Love You and My Sweet Darlin'. Her first album, Daiya-monde, which was released in October 2000. That album ranked high on the Oricon charts, earning her quick success in Japan. At the same time, she has also found some success in the UK under the name Yaiko. An album called U.K. COMPLETION was released there in early 2002.
Her next albums, Candlize and i/flancy were released in October of 2001 and 2002 respectively, and were as big, if not bigger than her debut album. Her 4th studio album was released in October 2003. It appears October is her favorite month. A singles compilation was released in July 2004 and a best-of album called Yaiko's selection was released in December 2004. Her 5th studio album entitled Here today-gone tomorrow, the first of original material in nearly two years, was released on August 15, 2005. Her latest release was the album colorhythm (2008.03.05).

矢井田瞳 Lyrics
Aitai Hito 背の高いビルの一番下で 背伸びをした あなたとアイスティーを飲んだ 今まさに恋に落ちたような気がした スタンダール恋愛論…
i can fly 例えばそう 豪勢な食卓を 前にふてくされたら かわいくないかしら だけどそう 私の欲しいものは あの時あなたになかった …
Life's Like A Love Song どうしたの? そんな悲しい顔して 何もしてあげられないけど あと5分 隣にいさせて 濡れた頬を眺めさせて 全て 押し流す…
Niji no Drive 寂しくなるくらい静かな午後 突然あなたは笑いかけた ペンキステッチのジーンズ履いて 何も見えなくなりそうな 陽射し抱いて…
Te to Namida 少しの矛盾なら大目に見てる 話す姿が好きだから 疲れて眠ってしまう優しさに いつだって気付く事ができる しまったままの約…
Your Kiss Hey boy, you look so happy is it true? Hey girl, you…
